Stone wheels do a better job at crushing people under them.

>>57702611
I like how apparently fake it is. Like it's so hard to get a real stone wheel.

Battles were always secondary.

Moths have those secondary wings that are significantly smaller than the upper ones.

I'm mixed race black. I look like a sandnigger and I get suspected as an Arab at airports every time I fly. I have black ancestry so that makes me black. It's the same reason sandniggers are indeed "actual black people." The black blood doesn't disappear with racemixing, it's always there in the DNA.
